Alo-
Hope you are doing well and having a successful start to June.This week was exciting! We were happy to have our friend Chị (Sister) Kat be baptized last Saturday. She is one of the most proactive people I have ever taught and will be a great member to have in the branch. She has a strong testimony about prayer which she shared powerfully at her baptismal service. We are excited for her and so grateful to have helped her learn about the gospel. I also attended a baptismal service for a friend I previously taught in Hà Đông.
After eating at our favorite hamburger restaurant, we came outside to find that Elder Trường bike was stolen. We don't typically lock our bikes because theft is uncommon, especially in broad daylight at 12pm. Unfortunately, both of our bikes were parked in a blind spot between two cameras, so we couldn't see who took it. Not that we could've done much anyways. We just laughed and walked back to the church. The employees thought we were crazy.
Lately our focus has been on the "Mission Branch". The Mission Branch is the online branch in Vietnam that meets for individuals who live outside Hanoi and Saigon. These people participate in church online through Zoom every Sunday and typically don't have much contact with other members. It has been enjoyable calling through the member list and meeting people - some who haven't talked to missionaries in over 10 years. We are only a 1/3rd of the way through the nearly 400 person list, so we are hopeful to see who else we can find. Personally, finding these members and hearing their testimonies has been some of the most satisfying and rewarding work I have done on my mission so far.
"And moreover, I say unto you, that the time shall come when the knowledge of a Savior shall spread throughout every nation, kindred, tongue, and people." Mosiah 3:20
I am doing well. Let me know what you've been up to + summer plans.
